Next President in America Will be A Lady ?

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Who is going next in the white house : Man or Woman ?

In 2001 When 24 Series started with Dennis Haysbert as black president
people said all over this will never happened in real hehe and it did.

Now the new season 7 with Cherry Jones as the president which mean
the first lady president make me thinking who is next going to the White House?If 24 was our next president choice base, then we can safely said the next
president in America will be A Lady?

Time will tell but for now let’s see how it will turn out.

This is just my own thought and view as i see t , not based on any poll or
research, so don’t waste your time on it.

Hope Or Illusion Of Hope

Hope or Illusion of Hope

A quick thought I am being trouble lately with is how people or
African Americans put so much hope in Obama or most just
thinking things will change overnight with Obama as first
black president in America.

My question is though:

 - Will people life really changed?
- Will Obama really make a difference?

Or

- Is this just an illusion of hope where there’s really no hope?
Am really struggling with these questions because I have lot of
friends and whenever we discussed politics their hope with
Obama as president seems too high for me.

Someone somewhere please give me your thoughts

A New Day or just a New President ?

Quote: “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

Today I woke up feeling like a little baby on a boxing day with few gifts under my pillow, but rest assure not my pillow but the Americans pillows.

Barack Obama has won the election and become the first African-American president in the united states of America and I have to say I was just wondering how good it must feel for the American people and mostly the minorities but does it really matter ?

Well for me personally the question is not who is elected but does the elected president have the sufficient power to really govern? Can he deliver all the promises? Time will tell but still only a fool will believe every promise said in a campaign will really be deliver, right?

Everyone happy but I think there are lot of differences why everyone is happy.
I am happy because I really believe Obama will deliver better and politically he will give people much more hope of better future (although that future can seem very long), but:

Lot of people are happy just because he is black and mostly they think he’s going to do some different or turn misery upside down overnight. Let’s face it, it’s going to take lot and we just need to keep supporting him much, as he said: 

Quote “We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you – we as a people will get there.”   

 The colour of his skin going to play lot in his future days as president either we like it or not, lot of news flash, controversy, words taking out of contest as our media do often and generate lot of tension.

I just hope we the people learn to distinguish between good and bad and when really bad taking a good colour to fool us, don’t just believe everything you see in the news (and you know them ;d ), educate yourself, research yourself , don’t just follow, be free, be independent.

Remember the night is long but the day will always come!

Notes: I always think he will win though as everything looks like from the start a big master plan ahead.

Zimbabwe need us all

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

The recent news reports of all of the political strife has cast a leery shadow over Zimbabwe. A country once rich in natural resources and the gem of the African continent has become a political hotbed for political corruption and human suffering. News of elections being riddled with illiberal activities makes this country very unstable. Where are the UN and its resources for policing this tragic downfall of a once great nation.

The political process has turned into a joke and very little can be done to reverse the trend that keeps this country in a never ending downward spiral. does anyone not forget that became of Somalia and its warlord death merchants seizing aid from all over the world? When will the nations of Africa finally stand together to give this country, Zimbabwe, a fighting chance at reliable and sustainable self-governance.

Mass rioting of elections and food shortages keep this potential hotbed of death and destruction on a constant simmer.
I can recall an almost exact duplicate of the problems going on in Zimbabwe this very day. I myself have traveled to Sierra Leone and Senegal to witness first hand the atrocities of greed and human suffering. As a member of a small contingent of US Army soldiers assigned to remove US citizens from Sierra Leone, I too witnessed the carnage and misappropriation of relief efforts to people whose only want in life is to survive another day.

The futility of being part of a larger organization to alleviate suffering and strife is overwhelmed by the bureaucracy of the NGO and sometimes the limits of your own devices for assistance. Zimbabwe must be able to be delivered to some form of democracy by allowing free and open elections.

These elections and protest that sometimes go hand in and are what make up the dynamic that is democracy. Please let us not witness another failed example of intercontinental democracy as has been seen in places like Somalia, Chad and Sudan.

Africa must be allowed to merge into a social dynamic that is the 21st century. The problems associated with dictatorships and one candidate elections should not be allowed to progress. I call on the entire world community to voice concern and demand assistance for the entire country of Zimbabwe as they undergo what appears to be electoral crime.
